"You kid, you said you would come and help me herd the sheep, why did you leave? ”

Mrs. Lin took Zhang Chu's hand and said reluctantly, reluctant to let go at all.

Zhang Chu retorted innocently: "Grandma, I didn't say that I came to help you herd the sheep at all, I came to play." You must be mistaken!"

Accidentally said what was in her heart, Mrs. Lin was old, she patted the back of Zhang Chu's hand, and said earnestly: "Remember to bring your book when you go back, I will show the neighbors, our good grandson has published a book as a writer." ”

"I remember, when the time comes, I will send you a courier, and it will arrive in a day at most. ”

Zhang Chu doesn't want to come back to herd sheep, the flower world in the city is more suitable for him, there is nothing here, and there is an orange cat watching him all day long.

Carrying a backpack and getting on the bus, Zhang Chu waved at Mrs. Lin outside the window, he was very happy, a small part of it was because of the publication of his works, and most of it was relief.

He took out his mobile phone and sent a message in the WeChat friend group, "Brothers, I, Hu Hansan, are finally back!

"Me!"

"I want it too!"

"Give me a copy. ”

The friends in the group quickly raised their hands and answered, although they don't like to read novels, but there is no obstacle to collecting a book at home.

However, Zhang Chu said arrogantly: "If you want, come to me tomorrow with the book." ”

"Phew, I thought you were going to give me a copy, but I don't want it. Wei Wenlin pretended to be angry and said, "Even if you send it to the door, I won't forgive you." ”

Anyway, sitting on the bus was boring, so Zhang Chu started fighting with his friends.

Now, taking advantage of the media reports, Nanhai Publishing Company has hurriedly distributed its works to major bookstores across the country, and has also put them on its own official website and the official stores of several major shopping websites.

As for how many copies of "Sherlock" can sell, it depends on the readers.

……

After more than two hours of staggering, the bus almost broke apart, and when he pushed open the door of Hanlinxuan's bookstore, he found that his bookstore had become a sea of Sherlock Holmes.

Sherlock Holmes's stills poster, the enlarged cover of "Sherlock", and stacks of books, and even Zhang Bowen put out all kinds of British hats, pipes, and crutches that he has treasured for a long time.

People who don't know still think that there will be a Sherlock Holmes-themed party here, which seems to be full of confidence in Zhang Chu's work.

"Dad, do you need to be so exaggerated?"

Zhang Chu was a little embarrassed, if the entire bookstore only sold one or two books at that time, wouldn't it be a shame.

Zhang Bowen patted Zhang Chu on the shoulder, and said confidently: "It's okay, your mother is still going to help you print some leaflets to hand out! Many uncles and aunts on this street have already come to buy books and support, just waiting for you to come back and sign them." ”

As he spoke, he pushed Zhang Chu to the cash register, and then handed the signature pen to Zhang Chu.

Fortunately, I was proficient in primary calligraphy in the system, which is equivalent to the primary level of the top calligraphers, and now I can kill a large number of pieces in seconds.

After Long Feifeng Wu signed his name, Zhang Chu felt that it would be good if his bookstore could be expanded, and when the time came, he could write his own books and sell them in his own bookstore, and he could make money both upstream and downstream.

It's just that the cost of physical bookstores is relatively high these days, and it's not something that a writer can bring, and what is needed is a variety of factors.

"As a newcomer, don't be too ambitious, you can sell as much as you can. Zhang Bowen was the first to educate the Tao, as if he was the one who published the book.

Zhang Chu had a black line on his head, "Dad, it looks like you've published a book." ”

"I haven't published a book, so I can't understand the current situation in the publishing world? Have you forgotten that this bookstore has been open for more than 10 years, and you earn money from it for your primary and secondary school tuition. ”

Although Han Linxuan's business is not as hot as Xinhua Bookstore, it has been tepid, and there is no problem in making a little money to support his family, otherwise Zhang Bowen would have changed careers to do the rest.

"Although our country's copyright protection is in place, and there are many people who read books, if you look at the data we report every year, which year is not the classic works in the forefront? ”

However, Zhang Chu disagrees with Zhang Bowen's point of view, which is the generation gap between the different views of the two generations.

"Dad, why do you keep reading classic old books? It's not because the quality of new books is generally poor, if new books can be as wonderful as classics, then there will be no shortage of purchases, this is actually where the business opportunity lies!"

The new book lost to the old book in terms of sales, because of the content, quality and popularity, Zhang Chu felt that his "Sherlock" had the potential to be a dark horse.

Since it can counterattack the Sherlock Holmes essay champion, why can't it perform well in the sales of physical books?

Zhang Bowen was speechless by these words, so he had to turn around and pretend to go to the goods.

This is indeed what Zhang Chu said in his heart, what he can see in heaven is an unusual opportunity, just like a salesman who sells a comb to a monk, and is good at thinking about problems from different angles.

Back at home on the second floor, Zhang Chu threw his backpack directly on the ground, and quickly took out his mobile phone, at this time, the sales of physical books had not been reported at all, so there was no way to inquire, he could only get some clues from the e-books on the Internet.

At present, all formal bookstores in China must install the unified sales system of the National Copyright Administration, which is convenient for checking the authenticity and the latest sales data.

It's just that you have to be a professional to see the real-time data, otherwise you have to check the data update at 7 p.m. every night through the official website of the National Copyright Administration.

Zhang Chu doesn't have that much face for insiders to reveal the data, so he can only go to Amazon, the largest e-book purchase and download address in China, to check it out.

In Amazon's Kindle bookstore, there are many recommended positions and rankings, among which the special price section and the new book section have a high number of clicks, and novels in the e-book category also sell well.

"There is no best-selling list, and there is no ...... on the soaring list"

Zhang Chu was a little distracted, it seems that his book is very average on the Internet, doesn't anyone know that "Detective Sherlock" was released in advance?

After looking at a big circle, he finally found his work in the latest place, which is also a small recommendation, the price of the e-book is 9.99 yuan, and there are only 3 evaluations at present, which seems to have some money.

Considering that this book has only been on the shelves for a few hours, Zhang Chu is also indifferent, how can 6 people have read their own books out of 3 evaluations, and many people are used to only reading books and not commenting.

"Come on, rush up, don't be polite to me. ”

………

Today, I am busy with things at home, so I quickly took the time to update.

There are so few recommended tickets, call for recommended tickets, and find a time for us to break out again and again!
